Correct me if I'm wrong, but...

The United Kingdom does have nuclear power plant technology, right?

They do have hydro and wind and solar technology, right? Hell, they have some Scottish island where they occasionally have a problem where their green energy sources outstrip demand so much that they have to find a way to get rid of it or risk overloading the island grid, right?!

Someone needs to sack this clown and put in a sensible climate minister. This is "good for the environment" in the way that switching from pipe-smoking to chewing snuff is "good for your health."
